Is Mac OS X Slow?

· Score: 4, Insightful
I beg to differ. A significant percentage of the Mac user population screams if somebody in Cupertino doesn't wipe his/her hands after going to the bathroom, much less when Apple 'does something wrong.' Many longtime Mac users are among the harshest critics of Apple, not unlike the way some family members or friends feel they have carte blanche to bag on others in the group, doing so with a vehemence that would surprise you.
Of course, they will defend the platform to the death against outside attack, but that's something different.
Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings. Mr. President, it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts. Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and, having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation?
Scott: "I mean why don't you just call it Operation Wang Chung? Ass!" Evil: "Well what, what should we?" Scott: "Nothing, I'm sure Operation Bananarama will be huge!" Evil: "What are you saying?" Scott: "If you..." Evil: "..Shh!" Scott: "..trying to be hip." Evil: "double-u, double-u SHH dot com. Dot org." Scott: "You suck!" Evil: "SHH!"
Somebody forgot their medication this morning. Chill out, dude, you've unwittingly managed to prove the corollary to the original poster's point: don't get so worked up, it's not that big of a deal.
Seriously. I'm amazed at the excitement generated by an advertisement. Hey Look! Nike has a new commercial out, it is SO awesome!
Deserves excitment! I daresay this trailer does. Many that are geeks deserve excitement. And some that are sarcastic deserve being treated as a naysayer. Can you not give it a rest? Do not be too eager to deal out sarcasm in judgment. For even the very wise sometimes cannot "get it."
While I'm normally gung-ho for anything challenging the behmoth (see sig for ref), and while I'm in agreement with you, I am still leery of trading one enormous, controlling software giant for a enormous, controlling media conglomerate. I don't want to be a naysayer, but extrapolating into the future produces a need to keep one eye on this bunch, too.

Looks like you're hyperthreading already! ;)
The new version (2.1) of Transmit by Panic Software (great guys) has both SFTP support and basic integration with BBEdit out of the box. Check it out!
There's a link in this entry for a screenshot if you're interested in what it looks like.
Yeah, but think of the backlash if they had called it "UNIX System Administration for Dummies"
No current pix, but here's my old one, or the exploded diagram. ;)

What are their sysadmin waiting to shut down 110/8383? Wake up!

Somehow, I doubt they're sleeping, nor their families, except in the morbid, metaphorical sense of 'to sleep' that Hamlet uses in his soliloquy.

It isn't?
This reminds me of a great sig:

Dang! Just imagine a Beow--
Ah, never mind.

If it was a scientist that said $77 million, then it the accuracy is of $1 million years.
Now that's an expensive dinosaur!
Careful, you're about to become verklempt. ;-D
Only problem is it will released on Mac 6 months later with no multiplayer or level editing capabilities. ;)
Homer: Hey, I have a, uh, friend who's going to be on "Inside the Actor's Studio."
Moe: What's his name?
Homer: Ahh, Joey...Joe-Joe...Junior...Shabba-doo.
Moe: That's the worse name I ever heard.
Joey Joe-Joe: (Cries and runs out of bar.)
Barney: Joey Joe-Joe!!!
Homer: Ah, never mind, it's just me.
For one thing, "troll" and "truth" both have the same first letters and the same number of letters: five.
;D
So do "tripe" and "trash".

Extra bonus coolness points for making a veiled reference to the origin of the word "venereal". You, sir/madam, are a god/goddess. :)
